two amazing things that happened within one week :
ben shaved his head (screams)
sarah's back! (screams louder)
so on thursday Nat asked me out saying
she had something really important
to tell me and all.
so i met her,
10 minutes later sarah came
and gave me a big shock! (:
haha i've missed her so so so much!
then friday watched Ocean's13 with Ben,
came home late and tired .
yesterday shopped with Stef & Sarah,
watched Fantastic4 when Ben joined us.
they all left after that,
so i met up with TheKids :D
someone told me to meet them
at The Cathay when they were at Cine ,
so i cabbed to plaza sing,
and realised they weren't there.
cabbed back to town again
D:
ate at seoul garden,
walked around till 11 ,
cramps got really bad so i went home.
it was raining ):
--
i recently realised how lucky we all are,
we're so fortunate to be able to do
the simplest things like walk
to the bathroom to pee .
i've been to Ceshire Home twice,
this place for the severely disabled.
at first i only went to clock up my CIP points.
but when i reached there,
all the residents of the home opened up my eyes.
everywhere i looked,
there were old disabled people sitting around
in wheelchairs drooling/staring blankly.
some could talk,
some couldn't.
there was one old lady who really touched me,
her name's Dulcie Wee.
i call her Bibik (meaning Aunty).
she's this old peranakan lady,
who had both her legs amputated,
plus she's blind in one eye.
Bibik told me that when she was younger,
she could walk, jump, run
whenever she pleased.
but then something dreadful happened,
and she lost both her legs.
despite this,
she's still very cheerful and talkative.
she talks about the weather,
flowers,
her favourite food,
her family.
as i pushed her wheelchair around the small garden,
i smile to myself.
all of us,
day in and out we complain and whine.
when really,
we have nothing to whine about.
here,
there's this poor old lady who's
lost her legs and half her eyesight,
and she's content just being alive.
when i was just about to leave the home,
three ladies came to visit her,
she told them ,
"this (points at me) is my friend, Audrey"
yes,
i thought.
my friend Dulcie Wee.
